Can we honestly say Fallout 4 is better than Fallout 3?

Maybe it's because I haven't played it so I wouldn't know, but the idea that you have to find fusion cores for the power armour sounds really tedious.
 
You can buy them easily, just loot some cool legendaries you don't need and sell them at some weapon store for fusion core's. Besides, a death-tank such as the power armour should be limited in some way. Fusion cores is a good way to limit it. It also makes looting more fun when you stumble across cores. Win-win.
 
Guys, c'mon... On-topic discussion now. Fallout 4 is better than Fallout 3 because it's more fun. Shooting up mo'a'fuggaz with cool weps and deckin' out power armors is awesome yo.

I can never tell when you're being sarcastic or not but I still think Fallout 3 is better if only because you actually have the option to be an evil badass rather than a goody two-shoes with a sarcasm complex. It's funny how in a game that's all about shooting everyone, there's really no option to actually be evil about it. You can't find a gang of raiders and join up with them to shoot settlers, or maybe work with the Gunners and help them kidnap people from nearby farms, none of that. You shoot everyone, but only evil everyone. Just makes no sense. It would've been so easy to implement some evil options given how the game works, but no.

No, everything for Fallout 4 - stimpacks, weapons, cores, whatever - works on the basis that early game (like, say, the first 10 levels) everything is scarce and hard to find. Mid-to-late game, you find them so often that you'll find yourself making cargo runs back to your settlement to drop your hundred stimpacks and eighty fusion cores so that you're not over-encumbered.

Fallout 4 really is the cheapest, quickest, most gratuitous power fantasy in the sense of the word, to the point that I think the poorly balanced design was intentional so as to invoke a feeling of "you're a god". This in addition to how fast you progress through a faction's hierarchy and how fanservice-y the companions are written just speaks to it being more of an indulgence than Call of Duty is. There is no balance, no pacing, no struggle. Just one straight uphill climb towards godhood.

Considering how many people love that, expect Fallout to become an annual series with rip-offs and competitors from left and right all over the AAA industry in the following years. It will be the next Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. The yearly uninspired releases of easy cashgrabs. :crazy:
 
Yeah, I ended up with hundreds of fusion cores by the end of the game and enough money to buy hundreds more. I think this limitation is mainly there so that you can't make too much use of the power armour they throw at you right at the beginning of the game.
 
Yeah, but then they'd need to find another way to hook all of the ADHD sufferers who need a continual stream of immediate gratification.

Mr Fish this picture is terrifying, like nightmare inducing terrifying. It's like if you only seen her from behind and went to say hello only for her to turn around and see that...face.

I actually have ADD (not ADHD, I am not hyperactive) and games like that just bore me really fast and I can't play them for long at all...
I guess the average gamer these days are even worst than ADHD sufferers :drummer:.

Well shit, now I feel bad. Sorry about that, not fair of me to lump AD/HD sufferers in with people who just can't be arsed with any sort of real challenge.

No worries, I could tell you were being sarcastic and didn't meant to insult anyone with attention deficit disorder, hyperactive or not ;-).
